AGENTS WANTED LOCKWOOD, EVERETT k CO., 51 MURRAY ST., NEW YORK. Sole Agents for the States of Virginia. North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Miscellaneous. True Words. A fit pair—a dandy and a co quette—the one is a thing in panta* loons, with a body and two arms, head without brains, high boots, a cane and white handkerchief, two broaches and a ringon his little fin ger. The other is a young lady, with more beauty than sense, more accomplishments than learning, in ire charms of person than graces of mind, more admirers than friends, and mote fools than wise men for her attendants. Happiness grows at our own fire sides, and is not to be picket! up in the stranger’s garden. Education is at home a friend, abroad an introduction, in solitude a solace, in society an ornament. Man was created to search for truth, to love the beautiful, to desire what is good, and to do the best. Beauty flows in the waves of light, radiates from ihe human face divine, and sparkles in the pathway of every child. Perfection of mind consists of firmness and mildness, of force .and tenderness, of vigor and grace. There is no greater expounder of moral principle, no eloquent teacher ot divine truth, who is more useful in God’s world, than a business-man that carries his religion into his bus iness. A bright and beautiful bird is hope ; it will co.ne to us amid the darkness, and sing the sweetest song when our spirits are saddest; and when the lone soul is weary, and longs to pass away, it warbles the sunniest notes, and tightens again the slender fibres of our hearts that grief has been tearing away. Pleasure is a rose near which there ever grows a thorn of e\ il. It is wisdom’s work to so carefully pluck the rose as to avoid the thorn, and let its rich perfumes exhale to heaven in gratitude and adoration of him who gave the rose to blow. Idleness—Is the bane of body and mind, the nurse of naughtiness, the step-mother of discipline, the chief author of all mischief, one of the seven deadly sins, the cushion upon which the Devil chiefly reposes, and a great cause not only of mel ancholy, but of many other diseases: for the mind is naturally active ; and if it be not occupied about liouesi business, it rushes into mischief, or sinks into melancholy.

Conduct yourself so that you may be missed with sorrow when you are gone. Multitudes of our species are living in such a selsfih manner that they are not likely to be remembered after tbeir disap pearance. They leave behind them scarcely any traces of their exist ence, and are forgotten almost as though they had never been. They are, while they live, like some peb ble lying unobserved among a mil lion on the shore; and when they die they are like that same pebble thrown into the sea, which just ruf fles the surface, sinks, and is forgot- ten without being missed from the beach. They are neither regretted by the rich, mourned by the poor, nor celebrated by the learned. Who has been better for their life ? Who has been the worse for their death ? Whose tears have '.key dried ? Whose wants supplied r Whose mis ery have they healed ? Who would unbar the gate of life to readmit them to existence? Or what face would greet them back to our world with a smile ? Wretched, unproduc tive existence! Selfishness is its curse; it is a starving vice. The man who does no good gets none. He is like the heath in the desert, neither yielding fruit nor seeing when good cometh—a stunted, fish draw, miserable shrub. AGENTS! READ THIS! W E WILL PAY AOENTWA 8AM.

It is a popular fallacy to suppose that mud flics from the wheel of a swiftly-movmg carriage in lines tan gent to the circumference of the wheel. It is a popular fallacy to suppose “it is a poor rule that don’t work both ways.” It is a popular fallacy to suppose that any one who is a fair scholar can teach school. It is a popular fallacy to suppose that heated air has a tendency to rise. It is a popular fallacy to suppose that a ball fired vertically upward will fall with the same velocity it had while rising. Lucky and Unlucky Kao. It has been staled that the Roths childs never employ “unlucky men. v The Cincinnati Commercial says ths Stewart, the millionaire of Nef York, adopts no such rule, but*** 11 employed a great many broke* chants, deriving great aJjck. from their experience. It wisdom in either policy astockof there is more on Mr. Stewart’ than on that of the Rot hi- The true rule is to employ and honest men, no matter they have been unfortunate Misfortune is not of itself want of capacity. No control events, nor can any man foresee them. As for “luck,” it is all in the imagination. It is not a constitutional trait. General suc» cess in life comes from very differ* ent causes. Even gamblers, whose faith in “luck” ought to be as good as anybody’s, rely very little upon it. They take precautions against the fickle genius. All their games have the chances decidedly in their favor. Luck is a vagabond whose vicissitudes ere innumerable, until finally he becomes a Beau Hickman, the seedy sponge, who-e ups and downs should warn all against dal lying with the delusion which sel dom lead to any othei end than ru in. Indeed, fortuitous circumstances may give a man sudden wealth, but he deserves no more credit for that than docs a man deserve censure lor being a loser by an unforeseen event. It is unfortunate for men, especially young ones, to believe that th- re are “lucky** and “un lucky” men. It is apt to impair their faith in the only safe mental and physical qualities and virtues, such as experience, good judgment, industry, fortitude, self-denial, and good faith in the relations of life.— To distrust these is to impugn the wisdom and beneficence of an over ruling Providence. Saturday Night.—Saturday night makes people human, sets their hearts to beating, as they used to before the world turned them into drums, and jarred them to pieces with tattoos. The ledger closes with a slash, the iron-doored vaults come to with a bang, up go the shut ters with a will, click goes the key in the lock. It is Saturday night, and we breathe free again. Home* ward, ho! The door that has been ajar all the week closes behind us; the world is shut out. Shut it, rath er. Here are our treasures after all, and not in the vault, and not in the book—save the old record in the old family Bible—and not in the bank. Maybe \ 7 ou are a bachelor, frosty and forty. Then, poor fellow, Sat urday night is nothing to you, just as you are nothing to nobody. Get a wife, blue-eyed or black-eyed, but above all true-eyed. Get a little home—no matter how little ; a sofa, just to hold two, or two and a half, and then get two, or two and a half in it of a Saturday night and read this paragraph by the light of your wife’s eyes, and thank Heaven and take courage.—Exchange. Immortality.—How beautiful the following gem from the pen of the late George D. Prentice, and how happy the heart that can see these beauties as he portrays them : “Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over us with a beau ty that is not of earth, and then pass away, and leave us to muse on their faded loveliness ? Why is it that the sta r s which hold their nightly festivals around the midnight throne are placed above the reach of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ! And why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view, and then taken from us, leav ing the thousand streams of affec tion to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts ? We are born to a higher destiny than earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades—where the stars will be set but before us like islands that slum ber on the ocean, and where the beautiful being that passes before as like a meteor will stay in our presence forever. 0 Foreign Items. Nine murderers were recently ex ecuted at Kiev, in Russia, by one hangman, who had no assistants with him. He strangled them one after another on a low gallows.— The dreadful scene lasted nearly two hours. The last man who was executed, and who witnessed the ex ecution of the eight others, fainted away before bis turn came. The ex-Empress Carlotta of Mex ico, it has now been officially an- nnounced by her physician, cannot live for many months. Her person al appearance is said to have be come quite repuhive. She looks like a very fat womao, and her face is covered with unhealthy eruptions.
